Friday Fives - Honorable Mention Series

 


I'm taking a bit of a break from my usual Friday Linkups to try something a little different.  I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd start making random five lists.  Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much.  My big focus for 2021 is to make progress on all the series I've been neglecting.  I made a list of 10 but of course there are so many more then that!  Here are 5 series that didn't quite make the list but are ready for when I catch up on the original 10.


1.  Rest Ye Murdered Gentleman by Vicki Delaney - This one has been on my TBR for ages and somehow I started reading the series backwards.  I've read the most recent couple of books but never picked up any of the earlier books.


2.  Killer in the Carriage House by Sheila Connolly - I listened to the first book in this series and while it wasn't a favorite I did enjoy it and there were some very intriguing hints for future books so I'd like to continue the series - especially since there are only 3.



3.  Paint the Town Dead by Nancy Haddock - Another series I read backwards.  I read the 3rd book and enjoyed it when it came out and then listened to the 1st book a few months ago so if I read the 2nd book I can check this series off the list.  Plus, it's just a lot of fun!

4.  Dangling by a Thread by Lea Wait - I absolutely adored the first few books in this series but somehow never finished it.  I'm really looking forward to this one.


5.  A Dark and Stormy Murder by Julia Buckley - This is another series I've read kind of backwards.  I read and enjoyed the most recent books but missed the first couple.

Do you have any series you want to finish in 2021?

  1. This sounds like a really good plan - I think murder mystery series often are more forgiving of being crashed midway. I have been doing the same with the Vish Puri series about the private detective who conducts cases in India... I started with the fifth book and then went back to the first one.

  2. I started to make a spreadsheet of all the series I need to finish, but it got really overwhelming really quick! I'm behind on SOOO many. Good luck to us both on catching up.

  3. It's fun to break out of what we typically do sometimes.

  4. I am going to catch up on the Library Lover's series this year. Want to make some progress in several others, but I think that is the only one I will actually finish this year.

  5. Once I have finished reading my physical TBR, I'd love to catch up on some series too - but there are some cozy mysteries on my TBR, fortunately !

  6. A dark and Stormy Murder looks fun! The Delany books do too, especially that holiday one.

  7. The Lea Wait series I have in my "Desire to Read" series and I have the first one marked. Like you when I get my priority ones caught up, this is one I intend to follow up on.

  9. I need to pick up Julia Buckley's series again. I really enjoyed the first book. There are so many cozy series I have middle books for but haven't read because I want to start from the beginning. I need to get over that and just read the ones I have.

  11. The first one is a series I'd like to read. The second, I did like the author's series about a bog. I need to read more of that series too.
